Lithium (Nirvana Cover)

I tried to get the recording less fuzzy but my distortion pedal is at the lowest gain setting. I did turn the level down but it didn't help much. Screwed up the timing in a few places but give it a listen. I may try with an actual backing track if I can find one.

Nicely done PD, sounds as though you may be recording to "hot" of a signal causing "clipping"...at least in my opinion. Maybe play around with the input and output levels in your recording app. Sounded really good otherwise!

Nice work PD. Now go back and replace that midi track (vocal???) with a lead guitar.

I was thinking about doing that, or if I get a mic, singing the vocals. Not sure if I have the dynamics though.
